These financial statements are the responsibility ofthe Kennesaw State University's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States ofAmerica. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As discussed in Note 1, the financial statements of Kennesaw State University are intended to present the financial position and changes in financial position and cash flows ofonly that portion of the business-type activities of the State of Georgia that is attributable to the transactions of Kennesaw State University. They do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position and changes in financial position and cash flows of the State of Georgia, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Overview ofthe Financial Statements and Financial Analysis

Kennesaw State University is proud to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2008. The emphasis of discussions about these statements will be on current year data. There are three financial statements presented: the Statement of Net Assets; the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets; and the Statement of Cash Flows. This discussion and analysis of the University's financial statements provides an overview of its financial activities for the year. Comparative data is provided for fiscal year 2008 and fiscal year 2007.

Statement ofNet Assets

The Statement of Net Assets presents the assets, liabilities, and net assets of the University as of the end of the fiscal year. The Statement of Net Assets is a point of time financial statement. The purpose of the Statement of Net Assets is to present to the readers of the financial statements a fiscal snapshot of Kennesaw State University. The Statement of Net Assets presents end-ofyear data concerning Assets (current and noncurrent), Liabilities (current and noncurrent), and Net Assets (assets minus liabilities). The difference between current and noncurrent assets will be discussed in the Notes to the Financial Statements.

From the data presented, readers of the Statement of Net Assets are able to determine the assets available to continue the operations of the institution. They are also able to determine how much the institution owes vendors.

Finally, the Statement of Net Assets provides a picture of the net assets (assets minus liabilities) and their availability for expenditure by the institution. Net assets are divided into three major categories. The first category, invested in capital assets, net of debt, provides the institution's

-I-

equity in property, plant and equipment owned by the institution. The next asset category is restricted net assets, which is divided into two categories, nonexpendable and expendable. The corpus of nonexpendable restricted resources is only available for investment purposes. Expendable restricted net assets are available for expenditure by the institution but must be spent for purposes as determined by donors and/or external entities that have placed time or purpose restrictions on the use of the assets. The final category is unrestricted net assets. Unrestricted net assets are available to the institution for any lawful purpose of the institution.

The total assets ofthe institution increased by $32,113,085. A review ofthe Statement ofNet Assets will reveal that the increase was primarily due to an increase of $26,833,609 in the category of Capital Assets, Net. The balance ofthe increase is mainly in cash.

The total liabilities for the year increased by $21,328,433. The combination of the increase in total assets of $32,113,085 and the increase in total liabilities of $21,328,433 yields an increase in total net assets of $10,784,652. The increase in total net assets is primarily in the category of Invested in Capital Assets, Net ofDebt, in the amount of$11,751,678.

Statement ofRevenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets

Changes in total net assets as presented on the Statement ofNet Assets are based on the activity presented in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets. The purpose of the statement is to present the revenues received by the institution, both operating and nonoperating, and the expenses paid by the institution, operating and nonoperating, and any other

- 11 -

revenues, expenses, gains and losses received or spent by the institution. Generally speaking operating revenues are received for providing goods and services to the various customers and constituencies of the institution. Operating expenses are those expenses paid to acquire or produce the goods and services provided in return for the operating revenues, and to carry out the mission of the institution. Nonoperating revenues are revenues received for which goods and services are not provided. For example state appropriations are nonoperating because they are provided by the Legislature to the institution without the Legislature directly receiving commensurate goods and services for those revenues.

Economic Outlook At this time, like all public universities, the University is facing budgetary pressures emanating from the current economic downturn being experienced in the State and the nation. While the University's overall current financial position appears strong, the University will maintain a close watch over resources to address the University's ability to react to any predicted shortfalls in the State's budget. Although the scale of the challenges presented by an uncertain economic environment is great, in our opinion, the University is positioned to meet these challenges. Dr. Daniel S. Papp, President Kennesaw State University

KENNESAW STATE UNIVERSITY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2008

EXHIBIT"D"

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF OPERATIONS Kennesaw State University serves the state and national communities by providing its students with academic instruction that advances fundamental knowledge, and by disseminating knowledge to the people of Georgia and throughout the country.
REPORTING ENTITY Kennesaw State University is one of thirty-five (35) State supported member institutions of higher education in Georgia which comprise the University System of Georgia, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of Kennesaw State University as a separate reporting entity.
The Board of Regents has constitutional authority to govern, control and manage the University System of Georgia. This authority includes but is not limited to the power to designate management, the ability to significantly influence operations, the authority to control institutions' budgets, the power to determine allotments of State funds to member institutions and the authority to prescribe accounting systems and administrative policies for member institutions. Kennesaw State University does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Kennesaw State University is considered an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational, and financial relationships with the Board of Regents as defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
Legally separate, tax exempt organizations whose activities primarily support units of the University System of Georgia, which are organizational units of the State of Georgia, are considered potential component units of the State. See Note 16 for additional information.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION In June 1999, the GASB issued Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments. This was followed in November 1999 by GASB Statement No. 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for Public Colleges and Universities. The State of Georgia implemented GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As an organizational unit of the State of Georgia, the University was also required to adopt GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No. 37 and No. 38. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as prescribed by the GASB and are presented as required by these standards to provide a comprehensive, entitywide perspective of the University's assets, liabilities, net assets, revenues, expenses, changes in net assets, cash flows, and replaces the fund group perspective previously required.

KENNESAW STATE UNIVERSITY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2008

EXHIBIT "D"

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires that the reporting of summer school revenues and expenses be between fiscal years rather than in one fiscal year. Due to the lack of materiality, Institutions of the University System of Georgia will continue to report summer revenues and expenses in the year in which the predominant activity takes place.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING For financial reporting purposes, the University is considered a special-purpose government engaged only in business-type activities. Accordingly, the University's financial statements have been presented using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, except as noted in the preceding paragraph. Under the accrual basis, revenues are recognized when earned, and expenses are recorded when an obligation has been incurred. All significant intra-University transactions have been eliminated.
The University has the option to apply all Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements issued after November 30, 1989, unless FASB conflicts with GASB. The University has elected to not apply FASB pronouncements issued after the applicable date.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of petty cash, demand deposits and time deposits in authorized financial institutions, and cash management pools that have the general characteristics of demand deposit accounts. This includes the Board of Regents Short-Term Investment Pool.
SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS Short-Term Investments consist of investments of 90 days - 13 months. This would include certificates of deposits or other time restricted investments with original maturities of six months or more when purchased. Funds are not readily available and there is a penalty for early withdrawal.
INVESTMENTS The University accounts for its investments at fair value in accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools. Changes in unrealized gain (loss) on the carrying value of investments are reported as a component of investment income in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets. The Board of Regents Legal Fund, the Board of Regents Balanced Income Fund, and the Board of Regents Total Return Fund are included under Investments.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Accounts receivable consists of tuition and fees charged to students and auxiliary enterprise services provided to students, faculty and staff, the majority of each residing in the State of Georgia. Accounts receivable also includes amounts due from the Federal government, state and local governments, or private sources, in connection with reimbursement of allowable

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE expenditures made pursuant to the University's grants and contracts. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.
INVENTORIES Resale Inventories are valued at cost using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") basis.
NONCURRENT CASH AND INVESTMENTS Cash and investments that are externally restricted and cannot be used to pay current liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets in the Statement of Net Assets.
CAPITAL ASSETS Capital assets are recorded at cost at the date of acquisition, or fair market value at the date of donation in the case of gifts. For equipment, the University's capitalization policy includes all items with a unit cost of $5,000 or more, and an estimated useful life of greater than one year. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 and/or significantly increase the value or extend the useful life of the structure are capitalized. Routine repairs and maintenance are charged to operating expense in the year in which the expense was incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 40 to 60 years for buildings, 20 to 25 years for infrastructure and land improvements, 10 years for library books, and 3 to 20 years for equipment. Residual values will generally be 10% of historical costs for infrastructure, buildings and building improvements, and facilities and other improvements.
To obtain the total picture of plant additions in the University System, it is necessary to look at the activities of the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) - an organization that is external to the System. GSFIC issues bonds for and on behalf of the State of Georgia, pursuant to powers granted to it in the Constitution of the State of Georgia and the Act creating the GSFIC. The bonds so issued constitute direct and general obligations of the State of Georgia, to the payment of which the full faith, credit and taxing power of the State are pledged.
For projects managed by GSFIC, the GSFIC retains construction in progress on its books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to the University when complete. For projects managed by the University, the University retains construction in progress on its books and is reimbursed by GSFIC. For the year ended June 30, 2008, GSFIC transferred capital additions valued at $10.9 million to Kennesaw State University, of which $4.5 million had previously been deposited by the University with GSFIC.
DEPOSITS Deposits represent good faith deposits from students to reserve housing assignments in a University residence hall.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CLASSIFICATION OF REVENUES The University has classified its revenues as either operating or nonoperating revenues in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets according to the following criteria:
Operating revenues: Operating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of exchange transactions, such as (1) student tuition and fees, net of scholarship allowances, (2) sales and services of auxiliary enterprises, net of scholarship allowances, (3) most Federal, state and local grants and contracts, and (4) interest on institutional student loans.
Nonoperating revenues: Nonoperating revenues include activities that have the characteristics of nonexchange transactions, such as gifts and contributions, and other revenue sources that are defined as nonoperating revenues by GASB No. 9, Reporting Cash Flows of Proprietary and Nonexpendable Trust Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, and GASB No. 34, such as state appropriations and investment income.
SCHOLARSHIP ALLOWANCES Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of scholarship allowances in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets. Scholarship allowances are the difference between the stated charge for goods and services provided by the University, and the amount that is paid by students and/or third parties making payments on the students' behalf. Certain governmental grants, such as Pell grants, and other Federal, state or nongovernmental programs are recorded as either operating or nonoperating revenues in the University's financial statements. To the extent that revenues from such programs are used to satisfy tuition and fees and other student charges, the University has recorded contra revenue for scholarship allowances.
NOTE 2: DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS
DEPOSITS The custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the University's deposits may not be recovered. Funds belonging to the State of Georgia (and thus the University) cannot be placed in a depository paying interest longer than ten days without the depository providing a surety bond to the State. In lieu of a surety bond, the depository may pledge as collateral any one or more of the following securities as enumerated in the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 50-17-59:

NOTE 5: NOTES/LOAN RECEIVABLE

The Federal Perkins Loan Program (the Program) comprises substantially all of the loans receivable at June 30, 2008. The Program provides for cancellation of a loan at rates of 10% to 30% per year up to a maximum of 100% if the participant complies with certain provisions. The Federal government reimburses the University for amounts cancelled under these provisions. As the University determines that loans are uncollectible and not eligible for reimbursement by the Federal government, the loans are written off and assigned to the U.S. Department ofEducation. The University has provided an allowance for uncollectible loans, which, in management's opinion, is sufficient to absorb loans that will ultimately be written off. At June 30, 2008 the allowance for uncollectible loans was approximately $0.

EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM OF GEORGIA

Plan Description Kennesaw State University participates in the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia (ERS), a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan established by the General Assembly of Georgia for the purpose of providing retirement allowances for employees of the State of Georgia.

The benefit structure of ERS is defined by State statute and was significantly modified on July I, 1982. Unless elected otherwise, an employee who currently maintains membership with ERS based upon State employment that started prior to July 1, 1982, is an "old plan" member subject to the plan provisions in effect prior to July 1, 1982. All other members are "new plan" members subject to the modified plan provisions.

Under both the old plan and new plan, members become vested after 10 years of creditable service. A member may retire and receive normal retirement benefits after completion of 10 years of creditable service and attainment of age 60. Additionally, there are certain provisions allowing for retirement after 25 years of service regardless of age.

Retirement benefits paid to members are based upon a formula which considers the monthly average of the member's highest twenty-four consecutive calendar months of salary, the number of years of creditable service, and the member's age at retirement. Postretirement cost-of-living adjustments are also made to member's benefits. The normal retirement pension is payable monthly for life; however, options are available for distribution of the member's monthly pension at reduced rates to a designated beneficiary upon the member's death. Death and disability benefits are also available through ERS.

EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM OF GEORGIA

Plan Description In addition, the ERS Board of Trustees created the Supplemental Retirement Benefit Plan (SRBP) effective January 1, 1998. The SRBP was established as a qualified governmental excess benefit plan in accordance with Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) as a portion of ERS. The purpose of SRBP is to provide retirement benefits to employees covered by ERS whose benefits are otherwise limited by IRC 415.

The ERS issues a financial report each fiscal year, which may be obtained through ERS.

Funding Policy As established by State statute, all full-time employees of the State of Georgia and its political subdivisions, who are not members of other state retirement systems, are eligible to participate in the ERS. Both employer and employee contributions are established by State statute. The University's payroll for the year ended June 30, 2008, for employees covered by ERS was $31,977. The University's total payroll for all employees was $104,433,030.

For the year ended June 30, 2008 under the old plan, member contributions consist of 6.5% of annual compensation minus $7.00. Of these member contributions, the employee pays the first 1.5% and the University pays the remainder on behalf of the employee.

Under the new plan, member contributions consist solely of 1.5% of annual compensation paid by employee. The University also is required to contribute at a specified percentage of active member payroll determined annually by actuarial valuation for both old and new plans. For the year ended June 30, 2008, the ERS employer contribution rate for the University amounted to 10.41% of covered payroll and included the amounts contributed on behalf of the employees under the old plan referred to above. Employer contributions are also made on amounts paid for accumulated leave to retiring employees.

Employer contributions for the current fiscal year and the preceding two fiscal years are as follows:

REGENTS RETIREMENT PLAN
Plan Description The Regents Retirement Plan, a single-employer defined contribution plan, is an optional retirement plan that was created/established by the Georgia General Assembly in O.C.G.A. 4721-1 et.seq. and is administered by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. O.C.G.A. 47-3-68(a) defines who may participate in the Regents Retirement Plan. An "eligible university system employee" is a faculty member or a principal administrator, as designated by the regulations of the Board of Regents. Under the Regents Retirement Plan, a plan participant may purchase annuity contracts or invest in mutual funds from four approved vendors (AIGVALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF) for the purpose of receiving retirement and death benefits. Benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. Benefits are payable to participating employees or their beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the annuity contracts or based on their account balance at the time of distribution.
Funding Policy Kennesaw State University makes monthly employer contributions for the Regents Retirement Plan at rates adopted by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia Board of Trustees in accordance with State statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2008, the employer contribution was 8.13% for the first six months and 8.15% for the last six months of the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and nonforfeitable at all times.
Kennesaw State University and the covered employees made the required contributions of $3,303,609 (8.13% or 8.15%) and $2,029,151 (5%), respectively.
AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF have separately issued financial reports which may be obtained through their respective corporate offices.
GEORGIA DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN
Plan Description Kennesaw State University participates in the Georgia Defined Contribution Plan (GDCP) which is a single-employer defined contribution plan established by the General Assembly of Georgia for the purpose of providing retirement coverage for State employees who are temporary, seasonal, and part-time and are not members of a public retirement or pension system. GDCP is administered by the Board of Trustees of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia.

NOTE 11: RETIREMENT PLANS
GEORGIA DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN
Benefits A member may retire and elect to receive periodic payments after attainment of age 65. The payment will be based upon mortality tables and interest assumptions to be adopted by the Board of Trustees. If a member has less than $3,500 credited to his/her account, the Board of Trustees has the option of requiring a lump sum distribution to the member in lieu of making periodic payments. Upon the death of a member, a lump sum distribution equaling the amount credited to his/her account will be paid to the member's designated beneficiary. Benefit provisions are established by State statute.
Contributions Member contributions are seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of gross salary. There are no employer contributions. Contribution rates are established by State statute. Earnings are credited to each member's account in a manner established by the Board of Trustees. Upon termination of employment, the amount of the member's account is refundable upon request by the member.
Total contributions made by employees during fiscal year 2008 amounted to $479,910 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
The Georgia Defined Contribution Plan issues a financial report each fiscal year, which may be obtained from the ERS offices.
NOTE 12: RISK MANAGEMENT
The University System of Georgia offers its employees and retirees access to two different selfinsured healthcare plan options - a PPO/PPO Consumer healthcare plan, and an indemnity healthcare plan. Kennesaw State University and participating employees and retirees pay premiums to either of the self-insured healthcare plan options to access benefits coverage. The respective self-insured healthcare plan options are included in the financial statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia - University System Office. All units of the University System of Georgia share the risk of loss for claims associated with these plans. The reserves for these two plans are considered to be a self-sustaining risk fund. Both selfinsured healthcare plan options provide a maximum lifetime benefit of $2,000,000 per person. The Board of Regents has contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia, a wholly owned subsidiary of WellPoint, to serve as the claims administrator for the two self-insured healthcare plan products. In addition to the two different, self-insured healthcare plan options offered to the employees of the University System of Georgia, a fully insured HSA/High Deductible PPO healthcare plan and two fully insured HMO healthcare plan options are also offered to System employees.

NOTE 12: RISK MANAGEMENT
The Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) has the responsibility for the State of Georgia of making and carrying out decisions that will minimize the adverse effects of accidental losses that involve State government assets. The State believes it is more economical to manage its risks internally and set aside assets for claim settlement. Accordingly, DOAS processes claims for risk of loss to which the State is exposed, including general liability, property and casualty, workers' compensation, unemployment compensation, and law enforcement officers' indemnification. Limited amounts of commercial insurance are purchased applicable to property, employee and automobile liability, fidelity and certain other risks. Kennesaw State University, as an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, is part of the State of Georgia reporting entity, and as such, is covered by the State of Georgia risk management program administered by DOAS. Premiums for the risk management program are charged to the various state organizations by DOAS to provide claims servicing and claims payment.
A self-insured program of professional liability for its employees was established by the Board ofRegents ofthe University System of Georgia under powers authorized by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 45-9-1. The program insures the employees to the extent that they are not immune from liability against personal liability for damages arising out of the performance of their duties or in any way connected therewith. The program is administered by DOAS as a Self-Insurance Fund.
NOTE 13: CONTINGENCIES
Amounts received or receivable from grantor agencies are subject to audit and adjustment by grantor agencies. This could result in refunds to the grantor agency for any expenditures that are disallowed under grant terms. The amount of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although Kennesaw State University expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Litigation, claims and assessments filed against Kennesaw State University (an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia), if any, are generally considered to be actions against the State of Georgia. Accordingly, significant litigation, claims and assessments pending against the State of Georgia are disclosed in the State of Georgia Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008.
NOTE 14: POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSION BENEFITS
Pursuant to the general powers conferred by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 203-31, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has established group health and life insurance programs for regular employees of the University System of Georgia. It is the policy of the Board of Regents to permit employees of the University System of Georgia eligible for retirement or that become permanently and totally disabled to continue as members of the group health and life insurance programs.

If an individual elects to have supplemental, and/or, dependent life insurance coverage, such costs are borne entirely by the employee.
The Board of Regents Retiree Health Benefit Plan is a single employer defined benefit plan. Financial statements and required supplementary information for the Plan are included in the publicly available Consolidated Annual Financial Report of the University System of Georgia. Kennesaw State University pays the employer portion of health insurance for its eligible retirees based on rates that are established annually by the Board of Regents for the upcoming plan year.
